Super helpful, quick to respond and overall very nice
It was very easy and comfortable to arrange the Safari through Traispsing Africa. We got a bunch of options to choose from right off the bat and alternatives when things didn't match our dates or requirements.
The safari itself and lodge that we eventually chose were amazing and we had a great expetience

This company exceeded all expectations and set the standard for how private tours should be designed
Perfect. That’s all I need to say about this company. But because it was such a fantastic experience I wanna make sure that I see more. From start to finish our experience with this company was superb. We were able to have input on every aspect of the trip with the guidance of the local expert Sandra, who is so kind and so patient and such a pleasure to interact with. She spent so much time helping us examine every minute of the trip and how to best utilize our time and how to best include everything we wanted. I can’t even count up all the hours she spent with us to design this trip. My father has disabilities and my mother is also elderly. She helped us navigate and set up this whole trip in a way that was extremely comfortable and easy for them to still enjoy every part of the trip. I can’t recommend this company enough. All tour companies should strive for what they accomplished.

More like a 24/7 online concierge than a tour operator!
We were very lucky to deal with Sandra Nicol at Traipsing. She gave us a detailed list of available lodges and was very knowledgeable with her recommendations. When our initial trip was postponed due to covid Sandra was amazing in securing the booking at Tau Lodge at the original price and rearranging for August 22.
Sandra provides a Whattsapp number and quickly became our go to person in all elements of our holiday planning. She fielded questions on everything from weather to currency, air travel, restaurants and activities and much more. I was amazed that she would reply within minutes at any time of day or evening, including weekends. She clearly has a personal satisfaction in providing top class customer service and went way above what we reasonably expected from a tour operator. She was more like a personal concierge, and this was invaluable as we planned our own itinery (apart from safari) and it’s always great to get the inside track from a local on the best things to do in an area.
We ended up booking car hire and several excursions through Traipsing, which simplified matters for us and secured cheaper rates than we could have got ourselves.
The quality and service at the safari lodge was incredible and throughout our stay Sandra took a personal interest in ensuring our experience was going well.
I can’t thank Traipsing and Sandra enough for ensuring we had the holiday of a life time.

Reliable, quick in communication, great prices, great lodge recommendation
Traipsing Africa supported us in all steps during our decision about the safari.
They sent us some lodges options, fitting our restriction on days and budget, and for each option they delivered a well detailed document including all about the safari, what to expect in lodges and a schedule day-by-day, which was perfectly accomplished during the safari. (including a user-friendly map to the lodge, better than the standad suggested by GMaps).
They really undestood our needs!
All comunications was by e-mail, with fast and complete responses.
I really recommend Traipsing Africa's Safaris and Tours for all the suppport, easy to deal and been a reliable company which delived everithing what was promised in the booking

Traipsing Africa delivered an awesome Sabi Sands experience
Traipsing Africa was able to work with us and found a resort on the Sabi Sands that was in our price range, but much exceeded our expectations. Sandra booked us at Umkumbe safari lodge and the service, food, and game drives were excellent. There were no problems at all, with the booking and payment, as well as the safari itself - everything went smoothly. You can trust these folks will come through for you on your own safari!

Highly customer focussed, brilliant knowledge, great attention to detail, excellent communication!
It's been a pleasure dealing with Sandra from start to finish - She understood exactly what we were looking for and went out of her way to ensure that the options she brought us were in line with our expectations.
When it came to value for money, having spoken to some other tour operators and compared the packages, it was clear that Traipsing Africa were able to provide high quality options at a very reasonable prices.
The communication from Sandra and the team was brilliant from start to finish, they are extremely customer focussed and this comes across in everything that they do... I would highly recommend and will happily be using them again for our next trip - 5 Stars.

She meet our safari needs and was always available to help us planning
We were looking for a safari in Sabi Sands and Sandra made us several offers. We decided for the one in the Elephant Plains lodge. Since we arrived ourselves, she created us a map how to get there (which is not possible by using Google maps only), she was always helpful during the planning. Apart from seeing the big 5 we had lots of other amazing wildlife encounters. The suite was absolutely beautiful and the food delicious.

Absolutely Fabulous!
I'm so glad I booked with Traipsing. Sandra was fabulous - she responded to all my enquiries on rates and transfers timely, offered options. Once we booked she followed up with information about covid restrictions and changes and also checked in on us via whatsapp and was even helpful in arranging a spare adaptor when we had forgotten ours! she dealt with everything to ensure we had a smooth journey and experience.
The transfer operators they work with are very professional too and had even packed us a snack box for the 2hour transfer.
Would definitely recommend and be using them again when we return to South Africa in the future.
